ASUS PRIME B760-PLUS LGA1700 DDR5 Motherboard

ASUS PRIME B760-PLUS is an ATX motherboard for socket LGA 1700, aimed at stable mid-range gaming and work configurations with the new Intel generations. It combines the Intel B760 chipset with support for 12th and 13th generation Intel Core, Pentium Gold, and Celeron, so you can confidently plan upgrades within this socket. It works with DDR5 memory up to 128 GB and high frequencies up to 7200+ MHz (OC), which is a serious bonus for gaming and productivity. Add to that three M.2 slots and 2.5GbE LAN, and you get a very sensible base for a modern build.

What you get is a platform that will not limit a normal gaming or work setup in the coming years. With up to 4 RAM slots and dual-channel mode, you can start with 2 modules and later add more without replacing everything. The three M.2 slots, all with PCIe 4.0, give you space for fast NVMe SSDs – separate for OS, games, and work, without relying solely on SATA. The Realtek 2.5GbE LAN chip is a big plus if you care about lower latency and higher network speed compared to standard 1 Gbit LAN, especially in online gaming and network work. The built-in 7.1 Realtek HD audio fully covers the needs for gaming, movies, and music without a mandatory external sound card.

• Support for 13th and 12th generation Intel Core, Pentium Gold, and Celeron on socket LGA1700, allowing both budget and more serious CPU configurations.
• DDR5 memory up to 128 GB in 4 slots with frequencies up to 7200+ MHz (OC), suitable for fast gaming and creative applications.
• Three M.2 slots: two with PCIe 4.0 x4 and one with PCIe 4.0 x2, for flexible distribution of NVMe SSDs between operating system, games, and projects.
• 4 x SATA3 6.0 Gb/s with support for RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, if you want a combination of capacity, speed, or redundancy for data protection.
• Realtek 2.5GbE LAN (2.5 Gbit/1 Gbit/100 Mbit) for higher bandwidth and lower ping than standard 1 Gbit solutions.
• Realtek 7.1 Surround Sound HD Audio CODEC, providing multi-channel sound for gaming and movies without the need for a separate sound card.
• Expansion slots with 1 x PCIe 5.0 x16 for a modern graphics card, 1 x PCIe 4.0 x16 (x4) and 2 x PCIe 3.0 x1 for additional cards (capture, audio, network, etc.).
• Standard ATX form factor with 24-pin + 8-pin power connectors, suitable for mainstream PC cases and power supplies.

Who is this motherboard suitable for? For gamers and enthusiasts who want a stable DDR5 platform with the potential for serious upgrades of RAM, storage, and graphics card, without paying extra for features like built-in Wi-Fi. It is also suitable for mid-range workstations – programming, light video, 3D, office, and multitasking. If you want built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth from the motherboard, you will need to add a separate card here.

The most sensible thing about the ASUS PRIME B760-PLUS is the combination of modern LGA1700 + DDR5, three PCIe 4.0 M.2 slots, and 2.5GbE LAN in a standard ATX format – a stable backbone for a balanced gaming or work build.
